Chapter 352: Life is Unpredictable

In the dim morning light, a hint of paleness appeared on the horizon, and a thin mist covered the dark bricks and tiles of Hengdian Film and Television City.

In front of the dressing room of the "Xuan-Yuan Sword" crew, Liu Shishi gathered her shawl and looked up at her husband.

Her voice was soft: "Honey, it takes me a long time to put on my makeup. It's so boring just waiting. How about letting Xiaoxia take you around the crew?"

Song Ci shook her head slightly, and reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear: "No need! I just want to accompany you."

Liu Shishi's eyebrows curved into crescents, and she smiled: "That's great, help me take a look at the new look later and give me some suggestions."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to go into the dressing room. Her long black hair was tied up with a hairband, swaying gently with her steps.

Song Ci followed his wife and his eyes fell on her tied hair. He vaguely remembered the way Miss Liu always complained about her hairband being too tight when she was young.

On a whim, he reached out and gently pulled it.

"Song Yiyi, why do you still like to pull my hair circle so much?"

The moment the hairband was loosened, her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Liu Shishi turned around and stamped her feet, glaring at her husband in pretended anger, but she could not hide the joy in her eyes.

Song Ci smiled gently and returned the hair tie in her hand to Liu Shishi: "When we were little, you always said this hair tie was like a chain. Do you still think it's too tight now?"

"Hmph!" Liu Shishi snorted proudly, and stuffed the hairband back into Song Ci's palm. Her long hair brushed against the back of his hand in the wind. "Help me tie my hair up. If you make trouble again, I'll punish you by making you copy the entire Book of Songs!"

Song Ci skillfully tied up his wife's long hair, running his fingertips through her hair with gentle movements. At the end, he took Liu Shishi's slender waist and lowered his head to sniff her neck: "It's still the same smell."

Liu Shishi's ears turned red, and she let her husband hold her, enjoying the warmth for a moment. After a while of tenderness, she broke free from Song Ci's embrace, smoothed her messy hair, and walked into the dressing room.

Inside, Gulinaza and Tang Yan had already arrived and were putting on makeup. They heard everything that happened outside the door and were extremely envious of the love between the No. 1 sister and the richest man.

Liu Shishi sat down in front of the mirror and the stylist immediately came forward to do her makeup and hair.

Gulinazha secretly glanced at Song Ci who was standing beside her, and then quickly looked away, fearing that Sister Yi would find out that she was secretly glancing at her man and punishing her.

Sister Yi's eyes were half closed. She looked at Tang Yan through the mirror and said, "Yan Yan, you don't look very well today?"

Unlike Liu Shishi, who looked radiant and seemed to have been carefully nourished by Boss Song, Tang Yan's face looked slightly pale, with a hint of blue under her eyes.

"I stayed up too late on Weibo last night and didn't get enough rest. I also want to thank Mr. Song for treating my fans to milk tea. The news that you came to Hengdian was trending on the search."

Tang Yan forced a smile and made up an excuse to deal with it. Although she said this, she felt bitter in her heart.

Of course, the real situation is not like this. Yesterday, her boyfriend Qiu Ze also came to visit the crew. When he learned that Boss Song was there, he insisted on forcing her to introduce him.

Tang Yan had a lot of grievances that she couldn't express, but Song Ci was polite to her only for Liu Shishi's sake.

She and she are simply not on the same level. If she didn't have this relationship with Sister Yi, she wouldn't even have the chance to talk to the richest man, let alone help her boyfriend make connections.

Qiu thought that Tang Yan was deliberately shirking her responsibility. The two argued until late at night and finally parted on bad terms.

Two hours later, the three female leads finished changing their costumes. Song Ci looked at them calmly, his scrutinizing eyes moving between them.

Our own Miss Liu’s look is the most eye-catching. She is wearing a fluttering red dress, and the exquisite flower decoration on her forehead is sparkling, showing her cuteness and agility.

Tang Yan went for the royal sister look. Her dark-colored costumes outlined her graceful figure, with a hint of sharpness between her brows.

Only Gulinazha's styling is puzzling. The plain dress is extremely inconsistent with her bright appearance. Song Ci can't help but wonder if someone did it deliberately.

The weather in Hengdian in July was hot, the scorching sun was scorching the studio, and the bluestone steps were steaming with heat waves. Song Ci stood in the shade of the studio, his eyes fixed on his wife in the center of the studio.

Liu Shishi stood on a three-meter-high platform, her red dress particularly eye-catching under the scorching sun.

The white jade flute in her hand glowed with warmth, and the gilded hairpin in her hair swayed gently with her movements. The wire behind her shone with a cold light in the sun.

"Actiion!"

Following the director's command, Liu Shishi took a deep breath and stretched out her arms, like a phoenix about to spread its wings and fly high.

Her body soared into the air like an arrow, the wire pulling her waist and abdomen, controlling every inch of her joints with muscle memory.

His right leg drew a perfect semicircle in the air, he used his waist and abdomen to spin 360 degrees, tapped his toes lightly in the air, and swung the jade flute towards the camera with his backhand.

The moment the wire swayed slightly, Liu Shishi suddenly stopped, tapped her toes again, and her whole body split in the air like flowing water, with her hair fluttering in the wind.

Just as everyone was immersed in the hearty performance of Yijie, the martial arts instructor hurriedly shouted: "Oh no! The secondary rope is loose!"

Liu Shishi, who was in mid-air, had not yet noticed anything unusual and was about to retract her legs and land.

In a flash, something unexpected happened.

The secondary rope of the safety rope on Liu Shishi's back side fell off without warning, and the severe pain of the steel cable cutting into her ribs caused her to suffocate instantly.

She curled up her body instinctively, but at the moment of falling, another safety rope hooked her waist, and because of the uneven force, she was thrown heavily onto the platform.

“Shishi!” Song Ci was furious and screamed angrily, “Where are the crew members? Why don’t you go save them?”

Director Li Guoli in front of the monitor was also terrified, but he was an experienced director after all, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and hurriedly gave instructions.

"Put the wire down first, and be gentle. Prepare the stretcher, and the medical team, and call an ambulance."

Liu Shishi was hanging diagonally in the air. The severe pain from her abdomen made her face distorted and her vision gradually blurred. Only the vague voice of her husband calling out to her ears made her feel a little relieved.

The staff carefully lowered the wire, and everyone worked together to help Liu Shishi onto the stretcher, everyone's heart in their throat.

Everyone was praying silently in their hearts, hoping that nothing would happen to Sister Yi, otherwise the entire crew would not be able to withstand the wrath of the richest man.

"Shishi, what's wrong with you?" Song Ci held his wife's cold little hand tightly, looking at her pale face, his voice trembling with heartache.

Liu Shishi was in so much pain that she was blurry in consciousness. She managed to squeeze out a few words with a weak breath: "My stomach hurts!"

The crew's medical staff quickly checked the actress's physical condition: "Preliminary judgment shows that there is no internal bleeding, but the specific injuries need to be sent to the hospital for further examination."

The sirens of the ambulance came closer and closer. Just as the medical staff were about to load the stretcher onto the ambulance, Song Ci suddenly turned around and said, "I'm waiting for you to give me an explanation for this matter!"

The richest man swept his cold gaze over everyone in the crew. That look, without a trace of emotion and full of chillness, made everyone, including Li Guoli, shiver.

The ambulance roared away, and the set fell into deathly silence. Li Guoli shouted angrily: "Everyone in the crew, come and gather!"

He was terrified by the look in the richest man's eyes, which was as if he was looking at a dead person. He must find out the cause of today's accident as soon as possible.

The filming of the entire crew came to an abrupt halt. Hu Ge and others who were filming in another studio rushed over upon hearing the news, all with serious expressions on their faces.

Everyone understood that if anything happened to Liu Shishi, no one could guarantee that the richest man in anger would not do anything irrational.

At this time, in the Tangren Film and Television Xiaobai Building, Cai Yinong was shocked when he received the news that Liu Shishi had an accident. After understanding the situation, he immediately drove to the hospital.

As the wife of the richest man and the top lady in the company, Liu Shishi's safety is more concerning than Hu Ge's car accident.

However, Hengdian is just a small town after all, with limited medical facilities and not even a Grade 3 hospital.

When Cai Yinong hurried to the best Wenrong Hospital in Hengdian, he was told that Liu Shishi had been transferred to the Affiliated Hospital of Tongji University in Donghai by a rescue helicopter arranged by Song Ci.

She had no choice but to continue rushing to the East China Sea.

Outside the high-end VIP ward of the Tongji University Affiliated Hospital in Donghai, Song Ci was pacing back and forth anxiously.

Dean Zhang, who came upon hearing the news, was comforting the richest man: "Please rest assured, Mr. Song, our hospital's medical level is among the best in the country, and we will definitely ensure that your wife is safe.

Based on my many years of medical experience, judging from the symptoms, Mrs. Song should be fine, and Director Liu and his team will soon find out what the condition is."

"Thank you, Dean Zhang!" Song Ci nodded reluctantly, feeling a little relieved.

The words of Dean Zhang, a medical giant, still carry weight. Moreover, when he spoke to my father Song Zhang on the phone just now, my father also judged that Liu Shishi's condition was not serious.

Finally, more than half an hour later, the door of the ward opened and three white-haired experts walked out.

Song Ci stepped forward and said, "Director Liu, how is my wife?"

The leading expert took off his mask and replied calmly: "Mr. Song, after a detailed examination, your wife suffered from acute pancreatitis due to a violent blow to the abdomen.

The condition is not serious. Through fasting, fluid replacement and inhibition of pancreatic enzyme secretion, the patient can recover and be discharged from the hospital in 5 to 7 days. "

Song Ci let out a long sigh and thanked everyone repeatedly: "Thank you so much! Dean Zhang, thank you too!"

Dean Zhang turned to the attending physician and said, "Director Liu, please take good care of Mrs. Song."

Director Liu nodded solemnly. He also knew that Liu Shishi had a special status. "Don't worry, President Song and Dean. I promise that Mrs. Song will be back to normal in a week."

"Can I go in and see her now?"

"Of course. We just gave Mrs. Song painkillers. She will fall into a deep sleep and is receiving an IV. You can go in and accompany her."

After getting the doctor's permission, Song Ci tiptoed into the ward. Liu Shishi on the bed finally fell into a deep sleep after experiencing severe pain.

Looking at his wife's pale face and furrowed brows, Song Ci reached out and stroked her gently with great heartache, as if this could ease her pain.

As evening approached, dusk gradually deepened.

When Cai Yinong hurried to the hospital ward, Liu Shishi was still sleeping, the medicine in the drip bottle was flowing silently, and Song Ci was sitting quietly at the head of the bed with his wife.

"Mr. Song, how is Shishi?" Cai Yinong asked in a low voice.

Song Ci gently held Liu Shishi's hand, tucked the quilt for her, and motioned Cai Yinong to go out and talk.

He closed the door gently, and the light from the corridor stretched the shadows of the two people very long.

Cai Yinong couldn't help but ask again: "Mr. Song, Shishi..."

"It's not a big problem. I need to be hospitalized for observation and receive intravenous drip for recovery."

"Thank God!" Cai Yinong clasped his hands together as if relieved, and his heart finally settled down.

"Have you investigated the cause of the accident?" Song Ci changed the subject and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

The cold gaze of the richest man made Cai Yinong shudder, and he quickly replied: "Director Li has already checked the matter clearly, yes..."

"Don't talk nonsense to me!" Song Ci raised his hand impatiently to interrupt, "Just tell me, was it an accident or man-made?"

Cai Yinong explained anxiously: "It was indeed an accident! No one would dare to harm Shishi!"

"Fire all the crew members responsible for wirework and safety!"

Cai Yinong looked embarrassed. Song Ci's request almost meant to fire everyone in the martial arts group. This would probably paralyze the crew of "Xuan-Yuan Sword".

"Mr. Song, the others are innocent..."

"Don't talk about innocence to me!" Song Ci sneered and ordered without question, "This world has never been fair! The person responsible must pay not a penny less in compensation.

If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. All the compensation will be donated in the name of Shishi, just to accumulate merit for her! "

"I'll do it right away!" Cai Yinong didn't dare to say anything more, as he was afraid that he would be implicated the next moment.

"Tangren Films and Television can't even do the most important work of safety. They are total rubbish!" Song Ci was still furious and cursed again.

Cai Yinong lowered his head. Although he felt a little aggrieved, he did not dare to speak and silently endured the scolding from Boss Song.

Boss Song was swearing, and Cai Yinong was numb from listening to him. He secretly complained that Boss Song was indeed a famous writer. He used all kinds of insults, such as good-for-nothing, drunkard, and zombie... All of them were very different.

Song Ci scolded for more than ten minutes, venting his anger, when suddenly he noticed a group of people appearing at the end of the corridor.

A white-haired old man, accompanied by the hospital leaders, walked slowly towards him.

The richest man's expression changed, and he quickly walked over to him: "Grandpa Wu, how did you alarm me?"

The person who came was the witness of Song Ci and Liu Shishi's wedding, the mentor of Song Ci's father Song Zhang, and Academician Wu, the "Father of Hepatobiliary Surgery."

Academician Wu said kindly, "I heard that Xiao Shishi was injured. I happened to be here for a consultation, so I came to see her."

"I'm so sorry for your concern!"

"How is Shishi?" Academician Wu looked at the attending physician, Director Liu.

Facing such a great master in the medical field, Director Liu did not dare to neglect him and answered respectfully: "Mrs. Song has acute pancreatitis caused by external forces. She will recover in about a week."

Academician Wu nodded slightly: "That's good. Remember to fast for the next two days."

"I will definitely follow the doctor's advice. When Shishi recovers, we will go to her house to thank her."

"Okay, okay, it's rare that you still care about me." Academician Wu smiled amiably, "I've been consulting at Tongji these days. If there's anything you need an old man like me to do, just come and find me."

Dean Zhang immediately made a promise: "Don't worry, Academician Wu, our hospital will take good care of Mrs. Song and make President Song satisfied."
